Having problems with your Dell Latitude D600 Notebook ?

Dell D600 My laptop's (Dell D600) screen won't work once windows boots up. I can go into the BIOS menu & see any & everything on the screen. Also, if I connect my desktop's monitor to the back of the laptop we can use it normally, but once windows boots up to the log-in screen for users the screen goes blank. This is a new screen 6 months ago that a former tech person at my company installed for me.. Can anyone help me with this one? Thanks, DSCWMitchell

Answers :

Sounds like a driver might have gone AWOL. Can you go into safe mode? Usually by pressing F8 after the Dell logo you will be prompted to go into safe mode.\015\012\015\012Go insto safe mode and once inside restart the computer. This will repair anything that may have shutdown improperly.\015\012\015\012If you can, also change the resolution to the least available, normally 800x600. Once you get back into the "normal" session, you can set it to your liking.\015\012\015\012See if this works for you.

Dell Inspiron 6400 Notebook

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 and its a little over a year old. It started acting funny about a month ago. It will work fine for about 5 minutes then it goes to a screen with different colored bars and i have to restart it again. I bought a new battery thinking that was the problem but that hasnt solved anything. HELP

Hey there,Colored bars make me think of hardware failure of the 1)screen or the 2)graphics card. Both of these, on a laptop, are going to mean sending it in for repair, out of warranty, and paying their rate, which maybe 150 bucks or more. Now ...
